Despite all you hear about Washington's chief industry, and the city itself does have it's problems, it's still a lively, and very lovely place to live--and we do love it here. Back on Oct 16th, the tourists were pretty much gone, as were the fed workers because of the shutdown, and the day was gorgeous--a perfect time to enjoy the beauty of the city.
Probably my favorite fountain, at the Navy Memorial the very photogenic Archives and the long row of government offices along Constitution Ave, America's Whitehall so to speak 
the Mall and its museums are always imposing
and then, of course, there's the capitol
...and then home. The DC metro has ads you won't find anywhere else in the word; interesting and also menacing.
There is so much to do and see there, and NOT to see! Beautiful city. That metro ad is downright creepy!
